A friend of mine would like to start trading in the software services business.
The idea would be to start an anonymous company with full protection of his identity and of course a bank account for incoming/outgoing transactions.
My friend has Dutch nationality.
The main critical points are:
a. The company needs to be in a country that doesn't raise eyebrows since the clients would be clients in the EU and they don't like doing business with companies in weird countries.
b. Since this company is dealing in software services - it must also look logical as far as the country goes. Hong Kong sounds very logical for software services.
c. The shareholder (my friend) must be kept confidential at all times.
My friend was thinking about opening an anonymous Hong Kong corporation and an anonymous Hong Kong bank account.
There are websites which claim to do exactly the above - for example:
Anonymous Hong Kong Corporate Banking Package
Package includes the company and bank account opening as above plus nominee director and shareholder service for complete anonymity, all for $xxx
“Bullet Proof” Anonymous Hong Kong Corporation combined with Panama Foundation package
As above, except instead of the nominee shareholder service a Panama foundation is set up with a separate bank account to act as sole shareholder giving you direct control of the company through the foundation. Company income can be “donated” into the foundation and the foundation used for a myriad of purposes.
Does the above look like a viable option or is this a false promise?
What in your opinion is the best way to go? Hong Kong ? Dubai ? and how?
Thanks so much in advance ! :thumbsUp:
